Fly Me Away

Fly me away, Raven, fly me away
To some far-off land where I can stay.

Here there once was laughing and gladness.
Now there is only regrets and sadness.

In your feathers make a nest
So while you travel I may rest,

...So I may have peaceful sleep never-ending
Where no more am I exposed to grief descending.

Let me stay in your sweet sable feathers
For in time unlimited measures.

Send me to the land of jewels and flowers
Where only good magic resides and it may be ours.

Fly me away, Raven, fly me away
To some distant land where I may stay.
